Saw something new to me this morning. Garfield was eating on the rear porch. A very large bird flew, in from the left banked and settled 15 ft from the porch. I thought at firstit was a Golden Eagle ...

How far south are you?
Maybe the vulture was after your RV or tire. Big problem in Florida some places. We were in the Everglades last year, and there are signs warning you at the Anhinga Trail that the vultures lurking there will eat your rubber trim around the windows, tires etc. The Park Service loans tarps so people can cover their vulnerable areas.
There were a lot of them shuffling around staring at us in the parking lot. Licking their chops (beaks?) waiting for us to turn our backs.
We are at home in southern Tn base of mtns. haven't had the RV out this year except for service.We seem to be under attack.
Found a newly dug hole, today, at the base of a tree. Big enough hole for a big critter. The cat did not even notice the commotion and kept on eating. Not sure what would have transpired if I hadn't gone onto the porch. The only thing that saved Garfield was the rail up the steps. The Vulture would have smacked right into them. Amazing how it manuvered in the tight area.
Bring the darn cat food INSIDE! What part of that doesn't compute with you? :S
